BTW, I hadn't spotted that this patch was only in HEAD since the
documentation says:
.. ghc-flag:: -pie
:shortdesc: Instruct the linker to produce a position-independent
executable.
:type: dynamic
:category: linking
:since: 8.2.1
I guess it was originally slated for that release? Should say at least 8.2.2.
